Last week Annville and the sur-
rounding communities were struck
by inches of rain leaving some
buildings underwater. Some of the
worst hit areas included Annville,
Palmyra, Hershey and Hummel-
stown. Here in Annville, homes
along the Quittapahilla were dam-
aged, some even condemned.

The rain began Tuesday Sept. 6
and continued throughout Thurs-
day Sept. 8. In response to the
flood, college officials canceled
classes after 3 p.m. Wednesday,
Sept. 7. Classes were canceled on
Thursday, Sept. 8, followed by a
two hour delay on Friday, Sept. 9.

"The office of the President was
very proactive in closing campus
early on Wednesday so employees
and commuting students could
make their way home to care for
their families. Students who com-
mute to LVC were able to remain
at their homes Wednesday night
and all day Thursday. The campus
was safe as Public Safety, Facil-

ity Services, Metz and other es-
sential staff remained staffed 24
hours. Adjustments in scheduling
went on behind the scenes so the
student body was cared for well,"
commented Brent Oberholtzer,
Director of Public Safety.

All roads connected to the col-
lege were inaccessible leaving stu-
dents and faculty stranded either
on or off campus. Various roads
were blocked due to flooded bridg-
es or damaged roads. Some roads
remain closed.

On campus, flood waters affect-
ed 21 various buildings on cam-
pus, including residence halls and
non-traditional housing, academic
buildings, and Mund College Cen-
ter.

Academic buildings such as
Lynch and Blair experienced flood-
ing in the basements; affected areas
included classrooms and practice
rooms. Potential damage to mu-
sical equipment, such as organs,
may have occurred. Shroyer Health
Center also experienced major

As firefighters surveyed the dam-
age, fire chief Paul Longenecker
stood in disbelief.

"If this had hit in the beginning
of August, it wouldn't have been a
problem."

Instead, the remnants of Tropi-
cal Storm Lee, which parked itself
over Central Pennsylvania last week,

weeks after Hurricane Irene dumped

almost three inches of rain on the
already water-logged community.
With Lees rainfall totals reaching
between 10-15 inches, areas across
the state experienced major damage
caused by the Sept.ember 7 flooding.

Of the areas affected, Annville
Township, was among the hardest
hit.

Wednesday morning the Union
Hose Fire Company, the local volun-
teer fire department, began receiving
calls of flooded basements. As calls
began pouring in, the informal op-

eration, headed by the two fire chiefs
of Annville and Cleona, turned into a
huge challenge that brought in more
than 20 members. They worked
almost around the clock until Sat-
urday night, evacuating buildings,
prerforming water rescues, pumping
basements, and assessing damages.

Many are still working to compile
damage assessment forms from resi-
dents, which will hopefully aid the
township in receiving federal assista
nee.

Jerry McAteer, the deputy Emer-

■L

gency Management Coordinator at
Union Hose, estimates that about 75
residents were evacuated from their
homes due to flood damage. This
is only a fraction of over 360 resi-
dences that placed calls or reported
damage.

No one, not even the firefighters,
could have predicted the damage the
storm would inflict upon the com-
munity.

rated, there was just nowhere for the

Student Government Update: 9.12.11

Nick Thrailkill '14

La Vie Staff Writer

On September 12, Student
Government convened for its sec-
ond meeting of the school year to
discuss the Swing Dancing Club,
changes in the Community Service
and Annville Educational Partner-
ship Coalition (AEPC) Chairs, the
actions of Facilities, Food Services,
and Public Safety during and after
the flooding, the Verizon tower,
changes in the club budget request
form, the state of the lower level of
Mund after the flooding, overflow-
ing and knocked-over trashcans,
selling t-shirts on campus, and
changes regarding the freshmen SG
elections.

The LVC Swing Dancing Club
presented to SG. The Swing Danc-
ing Club aims to teach members
swing styles like the Charleston
and Lindy-Hop and plans to meet
every other week. SG granted the
Swing Dancing Club probationary
status and Club Liaison Mike Mel-
lon will inform the club of its status.

Due to openings in the Com-

munity Service and AEPC Chairs,
McKenna Snyder is now the co-
chair of Community Service and
Savana Kalnoski is the co- chair of
AEPC.

SG thanked Facilities, Food
Service, and Public Safety for their
devotion to the college during and
after the flood despite the pressures
they were facing.

SG President Ryan Humphries
will be meeting with President Mc-
Donald next week to discuss stu-
dent concerns.

The Verizon tower that is sched-
uled to be built this semester will
support 4G phones.

Due to flooding in the lower
level of Mund, the former Faculty
Club and the Commuter Lounge
are closed indefinitely, but the
Computer Lab and College Store
are now operating regularly.

The SG Treasurer is working to
streamline the budget request pro-
cess for on-campus clubs.

The Community Service Chair
suggested that SG members and
students should stay in contact
with Chaplain Fullmer and the An-

nville Fire Department for oppor-
tunities to help in flood clean-up
activities.

The Facilities Chair brought
up complaints that the trashcans
in dorms were overflowing after
the weekend ended and that the
trashcans outside dorms have been
knocked over again, but SG Presi-
dent Ryan Humphries noted that
students fix the trash cans every
Saturday and Sunday. The Public
Safety Chair will talk to Director
of Public Safety Brent Oberholtzer
about solutions to the trash can
problem.

SG members brought up that
any students planning to sell t-
shirts on campus should, as a rule
of thumb, consult the Marketing
department before conducting
sales.

Freshmen SG elections will be
held from late Tuesday or early
Wednesday to Friday. Freshmen
are reminded to vote for officers on
SurveyMonkey.com.

water to go. We re in the business,
but Tve never seen water come up
so fast."

Alex Mock, a junior at Annville-
Cleona, has been volunteering for
Union Hose for the last six months,
after starting out at the Cleona fire-
house about a year ago. He original-
ly started volunteering as a firefighter
because of his brother s influence.

"My brother is a volunteer, and I
always thought that it was really cool
what he did. It made me want to get
involved."

Like many of the other junior vol-
unteers, Mock said it was the worst
and longest incident he's dealt with
as a firefighter, and that he's "never
gone on so many calls in one night."

Although the damage was im-
mense on many of the calls he re-
sponded to, Mock says the worst he
saw was at the Anville Mill Quarters
apartments.

"I was on the first floor, and
within minutes, the water was up to
around my kneecaps. And I'm over
six foot."

Nick Hessong, a sophomore at
LVC and a volunteer firefighter, has
been running with Union Hose for

the last four months, although he's
been
work-
ing as
an EMT
in Eliza-
bethtown
for the
past four
years.
Like
Mock,
he says
that the
flood was

the busiest incident
he's ever dealt with
as an emergency re-
sponder. However,
he was impressed
with how well both
the fire company
and the community
handled the event.

Beth McAteer,
another volunteer
at the fire department, was thankful
for the people from the community
who volunteered during the disaster.

"We literally couldn't have done
this without the people who came

down here and volunteered their
time."

In addition to the members of the
fire department, volunteers from the
community included various LVC

Photos courtesy of Nick Thrailkill'14
students and staff, the LVC
boys' basketball team, soror-
ity members, church groups,
township employees, and local
businesses.

And a squad of volunteer
firefighters from Long Island,
NY.

The crew, which consist-
ed of about five volunteers,
showed up early Friday morn-
ing at Union Hose stating simply
that, "We thought you guys might
need some help." No one in the
station knew where they had come
from until later that day, after they

had spent the morning helping to
pump and clean out basements.

McAteer says that he is amazed
by the "innumerable amount of
friends, families, and neighbors who
came to support the community as a
whole."

One volunteer who was tasked
with answering phones and enter-
ing data into the computer during
most of the distaster feels that what
they contributed was insignificant in
comparison to what the firefighters
accomplished.

"The members of the fire de-
partment worked almost non-stop
from Wednesday to Saturday. Some
of them had damage in their own
homes, but were out in the com-
munity volunteering before worry-
ing about their own clean-up. Their
dedication to this town is just amaz-
ing; it's beyond words."

flooding in the basement.

Non-traditional student hous-
ing along N. College Ave. was also
affected.

Damage to the Mund College
center included flooding in the Un-
derground; student activity offices;
such as WLVC; the campus radio
station; La Vie Collegienne office;
the Quittapahilla yearbook office;
the dark room; and the office of
Jennifer Evans ; Director of Student
Activities. The commuter lounge
and College Store were also affect-
ed by the flooding. New flooring
and carpeting in the affected areas
of Mund were in need of removal.

Facilities immediately dried and
cleaned the affected areas ; remov-
ing damaged items. Restoration
crews were called in to sanitize and
disinfect affected areas. Repairs are
expected to be completed by the
end of the week.

Campus life remained as nor-
mal as possible. "All key services
— counseling; health; food service;
facilities services; public safety —
and most athletic practices; social
events and activities occurred as
planned and with some additions.
Hundreds attended the late night
dance at the Underground; oth-
ers watched two movie showings ;
and a bus trip to D.C. took place as

scheduled. Much of this occurred
because of the hard work and dedi-
cation of staff going well beyond
their normal responsibilities/' said
in a recent press release by Greg
Krikorian; vice president for stu-
dent affairs.

More than 100 students were
able to provide their services to
the surrounding community by
clearing debris ; lifting furniture
and cleaning basements. Athletic
teams were also able to provide as-
sistance. The football team was able
to assist Phil BillingS; faculty mem-
ber and former NCAA faculty ath-
letic representative; in cleaning up
his property. The field hockey team

was able to provide service to the
family of Lou Sorrentino ; athletic
director emeritus who passed away
earlier this year. The basketball
team was able to help Scott Mailen
'82; assistant coach. Multiple other
professors were affected by the re-
cent flooding.

Service is still needed through-
out the community if interested

on MyLVC; or contact Chaplain
Fullmer.

Sophomore recalls fateful day in fourth grade

Elizabeth Richey '14
La Vie Staff Writer

"The day was going just like any
other school day until the fire alarm
went off and the entire school had
to evacuate outside."

This is how LVC sophomore
Betty Ross describes the Septem-
ber 11th terrorist attacks in 2001.
She vividly remembers the day that
left 2, 977 innocent people dead
from four separate airplane crashes.

Imagine being in the fourth
grade again and hearing the fire
alarms go off. You would probably
do what any other student would
do - assume it is a drill and follow
the teachers outside. Bettys day
at Stephen J. Gerace Elementary
School in Pequannock, NJ., went
differently. She remembers head-
ing outside like they would with
any other fire drill, but instead of
staying close to the school, teach-
ers moved them as far away from
the building as possible. They con-
tinued to stand there and wait for

the okay' to come back inside, but
"[they] were never allowed back."

threat, but also that the twin tow-
ers had been hit a mere 30 minutes
away. For Betty, her classmates, and
their parents, that day was a double
blow. Doubly terrifying.

She remembers "sitting in front
of the TV for hours, watching peo-
ple screaming and crying and dy-
ing" and "wondering how someone
could do something so terrible,"
but for only being in the fourth
grade, Betty was able to grasp the
situation at hand. Watching the
news and hearing the phone calls
from the victims to their loved ones
was "chilling" to her.

"After that day, I knew what it
was like to see something abso-
lutely terrible happen. But then I
also saw something wonderful hap-
pen. For the first time in my life,
the entire country became united,"
she explains. Because of this expe-
rience, seeing all the fatalities and
grief on this day ten years ago, she
says, "I will never again underesti-
mate the cruelty that man can exert
on other men, but I will also never
underestimate the power of people
to come together and the ability to
pull through and rebuild."

Nation mourns
one decade later

Student overcomes fears after 9.1 1

Keifer Kemmerly ' 14
La Vie Staff Writer

On Sept. 1 1, a Service of Re-
membrance was held to commem-
orate the tenth anniversary of the
attacks on the two World Trade
Centers in New York, the Penta-
gon and airplane crash in Shanks-
ville, Pa. The service s mantra was
clear, remember and reflect upon
what happened ten years ago. The
attacks are still a part of the na-
tional consciousness and it is im-
portant for us to remember those
who were victims that day. These
services help communities con-
structively reflect upon the events
and pay homage to a moment that
changed us as a country.

There was a great turn out,
and those in attendance took well
to the service. The LVC Cham-
ber Choir and singers from the
Annville-Cleona Area Council of
Churches joined forces under the
direction of Dr. Mark Mecham,
Chair of the Music Department,
to sing a fabulous array of songs.
"The Dream Isaiah Saw," com-

posed by Glenn Rudolph, filled
the chapel with an instrumental
accompaniment including brass.
An unexpected standout was
"Enite ton Kyrion," which accom-
panied a video, edited by Timo-
thy Davis '12, which featured
some of the victims who were in
the towers during the attack and
the terrible crash scenes, which
became all too familiar in the days
following the attack. Together,
they created a haunting moment
that brought back the memories
that were acquired Sept. 1 1, 2001.

Between the choir anthems
were readings by local clergy, ser-
vice members and LVC students,
which brought the biblical mes-
sage to the service. Also included
in the programs were hymns.

There is a lot of controversy
surrounding the 9/11 attacks
and our governments response,
largely the two wars that we are
currently in. It was well spoken in
the benediction, "May God bless
those who bring peace."

Sunday marked the anniversary
of one of the most devastating trag-
edies America has ever had to face.
Ten years ago, nearly 3,000 people
died as a result of the attacks on
this country. Lives were forever
changed.

On Sept. 11, 2001 four planes
left U.S. airports, within minutes
of one another, each unknowingly
carrying deadly terrorists.

The first plane left Boston dur-
ing the early morning. About forty-
five minutes later, the plane hit the
North Tower of the World Trade
Center in New York City.

The World Trade Center s South
Tower was hit just minutes later by
a second plane that had also left
from Boston.

Shortly after, a third plane from
Washington's Dulles Airport was
reported to have hit the Pentagon
in Washington D.C.

A fourth and final plane from
Newark crashed in Shanksville,
PA., as passengers fought to avert
another attack in the D.C. area.

"I cant believe its been ten
years already," says 19 -year- old Jena

Bogovich of Sunbury, PA.

"I was in fourth grade when it
happened," Bogovich remembers.

Bogovich and her classmates

& V ^ * *t

had just come in from recess when
a teacher burst into the classroom
and whispered something to her
teacher. When her teacher turned
on the television, the whole class
grew silent. There was a huge build-
ing on fire.

"We were immediately rushed
to the school library. The entire
school was on terrorist lockdown

because of the hijacked plane that
crashed in Pennsylvania," Bogovich
explains.

"We knew it was bad, but we
were all too young to understand,"
says the Lebanon Valley College
sophomore.

As the days went on, Bogovich
was very scared that there would be
more attacks to come.

"Even as a junior in high school,
when I flew for the first time, I was
still a tad nervous," says Bogovich,
"You just never know what s going
to happen."

Bogovich also explains how the
attacks had an affect on her and her
family because of her uncle being
in the army.

"My biggest fear was losing him
because we are so close," she con-
fesses.

It is hard to imagine the amount
of lives impacted and forever
changed because of a few hours
during one horrific day.

The people who lost their lives
during the brutal attacks on Amer-
ica also gained unforgettable titles.
Heroes.

Public Safety Supervisor understands duty, danger

Cody Holt ' 13
La Vie Staff Writer

Just as no man is invincible,
neither is any nation. These are the
thoughts of three-year Lebanon
Valley College Supervisor of Public
Safety Brian Boyer. His thoughts
go back to September 11, 2001.

The thirty-three year old Palmy-
ra resident always thought America
was an untouchable nation before
that tragic event ten years ago. At
the time of the attack, Boyer was
stationed at the state capital in Har-
risburg as a member of the Penn-
sylvania State Security. The first
mention of the attacks was brought
to his attention via radio announc-
ing the first plane crash. The hope
was for a mere technical error. Sad-
ly the second plane crash made it
obvious that was not the case.

Boyer remembers how a sense
of worry arose at the news. There
were fears of an attack on the capi-
tol building or even the Nuclear
Power Plant just ten miles away.
He recalls sadness when he learned
of the plane that crashed in a field
in Shanksville, PA. Though sad-

dened by the loss of the passengers
on board the plane, he said the he-
roic actions among the passengers
aboard Flight 93 prevented an even
greater disaster. It is believed the
planes target was either the U.S.
Capitol or
the White
House.

A mem-
ber of law
enforce-
ment for
thirteen
years, Boy-
er has been
called
crazy for
charging
head first
into situ-
ations that

would cause most to flee. Yet before
9/ 1 1, Boyer was accustomed to the
dangerous jobs and relative peace
of America that he viewed himself
and the country as invincible. That
thought was quickly extinguished
when he got that radio call.

That date 10 years ago seemed

like a wakeup about just how vul-
nerable the people of American
truly are. Even though America
holds a powerful military, vast
wealth and advanced technology,
the nation was still blindsided on

Photo by Justin Roth T4

its own shores. The disaster also
brought attention to Boyer s own
mortality and vulnerability. Since
he was accustomed to entering
dangerous situations without fear,
the concept of dying on duty never
occurred to him. The sight of fire-
fighters and police officers dying

at the crash site shook him greatly.
Realizing his profession could end
in uncertain death, he now believes
in treasuring each day alive. Now
on the 10th Anniversary, Boyer
looks back on those who fell in the
line of duty with respect. Think-
ing back it raises questions about
whether such disasters can be
stopped completely.

Today, America hopes for a
day when terrorism will end, sad-
ly Boyer feels that day will never
come. From his perspective it is
impossible to truly eliminate ter-
rorism or prevent every act of ter-
rorism. The best that can be done is
to minimize the threat and protect
as many people as possible. Most
of all America should always look
upon September 1 1th as a constant
reminder how despite all its power,
no country is invincible. Perhaps
if it weren't for the countries over
confidence, that terrible tragedy
could have been prevented, who's
to say?

Student helps plan 9.1 1 memorial

Natalie Geiger '12
La Vie Staff Writer

Completing a math worksheet
on Sept. 11, 2001, Alex Philp '14
was interrupted with news from his
teachers that was hard for a fourth
grader to comprehend: terrorists
had attacked the World Trade Cen-
ter in New York. Like any ten year
old, the news was difficult for Philp
because he "barely knew what was
going on in the United States, yet
alone the entire world." For those
who were only children at the
time, the 9/11 terrorist attacks had
changed their perspectives of the
nation and the world.

Ten years later, Philp is a soph-
omore political science major at
Lebanon Valley College. He takes
some time to reflect on the impact
such a tragedy has had on our na-
tion and himself. A leader in the
College Conservatives club, Philp
finds it important for the campus
and the entire country to take time
and remember the events of 9/11.
The "9/11 Never Forget Project"
he helped construct displays 2,977
American flags, one for each victim
of the tragedy. Donations can also

be made to help the 9/11 Memo-
rial in New York. "[9/11] is such
an emotional event. I feel so much
for the

Alex Philp '14 helped plan the "9/11 Never

Forget Memorial"

portant
for all
c o m -
muni-
ties to
support

and remember those who lost their
lives in the attacks.

Philp recognizes the impor-

tance of having such an event, even
if the LVC campus isn't directly
connected to the 9/11 tragedy. He
still recalls
how he felt
so many
years ago
and re-
flects on
how it has
changed
him and
the na-
tion, real-
izing that
threats to
the Ameri-
can way
of life are
real. How-
ever, Philp
still keeps
his sense
of patrio-
tism, see-
ing that
the pas-
s e n g e r s
of Flight

93 were "good examples of citi-
zens stepping up; it's what makes
America great. They were heroes."

By remembering the bravery of the
American people who helped dur-
ing 9/ 1 1, America can stay strong
and maintain its freedom.

When his grade school teachers
broke the news of the attacks that
fateful afternoon, Philp remembers
feeling the fear that the land of the
free had become vulnerable. While
the safety of all citizens is impor-
tant, he feels that post 9/11 efforts
to increase security were not as
good as they could have been. The
Patriot Act and controversial ac-
tions of the TSA were some pro-
grams Philp thinks are a bit of an
overreaction. He feels that subtle
security measures could have been
more effective. He also finds that it
is important for the American peo-
ple to maintain a need for liberty
despite the fear of foreign terror-
ism. The words of Benjamin Frank-
lin resonate with Philp regarding
this topic: "Those who would give
up essential liberty to purchase a
little temporary safety deserve nei-
ther liberty nor safety."

Parahus, 20, is an actuarial
science major here at LVC. On
September 11, 2001, he was a
fourth grader in Long Island,
NY.

Parahus remembers that it
was a normal day in class, until
his teacher received a phone
call from the principal. The
teacher then turned on the TV
and everyone in the class saw
the horrific events on that day.

He could not understand the
gravity of the situation until all
of his teachers started receiving
phone calls saying that students
needed to go home. Parahus
claimed that at that moment he
realized that it was a big deal.
He recalls, though, that when
he went home, he still did not
know the significance of what
happened.

It wasn't until he was in 7th
or 8th grade that he really knew
what September 11th really
meant to Americans and the
world. He had not known at the
time that his aunt worked across
the street from the World Trade
Center. She was unharmed. H e
now knows the significance of
September 1 1th, and will never
forget the events of that day.

A leek crfc the simmers best games

bv Andrew Veirtz

Hello LVC gamers and gam-
er-ettes! Now that were back in
school for another year, its time
to get back to everyone's favorite
non-class activity: video games !

A lot happened this summer
in the realms of video game great-
ness. The beginning of the sum-
mer saw the release of L.A. Noire,

Rockstar games' take on classic,
gritty film noire. Granted, it wasn't
a terribly action packed experi-
ence, but it was one that had the
player using their brains. Find-
ing clues and solving crimes is the
name of the game here. It was an
engrossing and unique experience,
and if you haven't checked it out
yet, you need to.

The summer also saw the re-

lease of the hotly anticipated
downloadable content for Mortal
Kombat, released last April. Four
new characters were released: Skar-
let, Kenshi, Rain, and most supris-
ingly of all, Freddy Krueger. Every
single characeter released was cool
and interesting, whether you chose
to use the blood powers of Skar-
let, Kenshi's telekinesis and floaty
katana, Rain's water baloon-esque

hydro powers, or stabbing people
in the face with Freddy's razor
gloves. It was a gloriously gory
time, and well worth the five dol-
lars per character.

And as we look toward the fu-
ture, as we see the release of hotly
anticipated titles like Deus Ex:
Human Revolution, Dead Island,
and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim,
one thing is clear. The video game

industry is enjoying a time of such
quality as never seen before, and
we have a lot to look forward to.
Check back here weekly for more
gaming updates and awesome re-
views when cool stuff comes out.
Game on, LVC !

The Ten Monsters You'll
Have as Roommates"

EH

This is a really fun game to
play, especially if you and
your roommate get along.
Decide which "monster"
your roommate is, and try
not to be offended when
they tell you you're a
zombie-alien- vampire combo. Be careful who you watch
this with, because it does swear quite a bit (well, it is from
CollegeHumor).

Mens soccer pulls off victory

The Lebanon Valley men's soc-
cer team pulled off an impressive
come-from-behind 3-2 win over
Centenary on Saturday, capped
off by an Andy Suprock goal less
than three minutes into extra time.

The Dutchmen (2-1) left it late
in extra time again, as they won
their second straight overtime
game. The previous games hero
turned provider as Junior Andrew
Cooper fed the junior Suprock for
his second career extra time win-
ner. His first came a season ago
against Misericordia.

The Cyclones (l-l) got off to
a fast start with senior striker An-
drew Pinnella's 24th-minute pen-
alty kick and freshman Michael
Marin needed just seven more
minutes to add to the lead, con-
verting a cross from sophomore
Reid Meeker.

LVC didn't panic and Cooper
got the Dutchmen on the board
just after halftime and senior
Brendan Steele leveled the game
on 50 minutes.

LVC created plenty of chances,

taking 14 of their 21 shots in the
second half, but the score would
remain deadlocked at two until the
end of regulation.

Suprock's needed little time as
he coolly slotted home Cooper's
pass to beat Centenary's keeper
Jason Rogers.

started in goal for the Dutchmen
and did not record a save; Junior
James Clements picked up the win
while making three saves from the
second half on. Rogers made seven
saves for the cyclones.

Field hockey off to rough start

A new coach, a new team, a new
season.

The Dutchmen start off the
2011 season 0-3 after playing
Mary Washington University,
Johns Hopkins University and
Lynchburg University.

Opening the season at Mary
Washington, the Lebanon Valley
field hockey team fell 5-2 in a hard
fought game. Despite Mary Wash-
ington scoring 5 first half goals, in-
cluding 3 in the last five minutes,
Jocelyn Novak and Cate Cusack
tallied goals for the Dutchmen,
Novak adding an assist.

Although the Dutchmen were
outshot, 24-18, they led on penal-
ty corners, 10-6. Christine Poletti
added 13 saves for the Dutchmen.

Johns Hopkins topped the
Dutchmen late in the second half
to win the game at their home
field.

After 22 minutes of play, Hop-
kins went on top, and Caitlin
Vasey tied the score 3 minutes lat-

heartbreak

er off of a rebounded penalty cor-
ner. In the 54th minute, Hopkins
scored again to take the lead to top
the Dutchmen 2-1.

Hopkins outshot the Dutch-
men 29-16 and took the lead on
penalty corners, 16-4. Poletti had
16 saves and Bridget Monighan
added a defensive stop for the
Dutchmen.

This year's home opener was
against Lynchburg. Scoring three
unanswered goals after halftime,
Lynchburg topped the Dutchmen,
4-1.

Cusack was able to tie the game
several minutes into the second
half with an assist from Vasey, but
that wasn't enough when Lynch-
burg put three more into the back
of the net.

Lynchburg held a shots advan-
tage, 26-9, as well as on corners,
12-4. Poletti saved 1 1 shots.

The Dutchmen look to bounce
back this week when they play
Susquehanna University, St. Law-
rence University and William
Smith College.

The Lebanon Valley wom-
en's soccer team suffered a
heartbreaking first loss of the
season on Saturday after falling
3-2 to Scranton.

The Royals' (3-0) main-
tained their perfect record
through a decisive 69th-minute
winner from junior midfielder
Sydney Parker.

The Dutchmen (2-1) fell
behind quickly after Scranton's
opener on six minutes from
sophomore Rebecca Hextall,
but a quick pair of goals from
junior Stevi Laird steadied the
ship in the early going as LVC
took a 2-1 lead.

Laird nodded in senior Sara
Drabenstadt's cross in the ninth
minute to put the Dutchmen
level, then converted from the
penalty spot four minutes later
to take the lead.

Scranton would answer, how-
ever, as senior Christina Cognet-
ti fired home in the 32nd minute
to knot the score up.

Senior keeper Sami Young
did well between the sticks for
LVC, making five saves, but
couldn't stop Parker's late go-
ahead goal. Sophomore keeper
Kelsy McAnelly made three
saves for the Royals.

Scranton held the attacking
advantage, doubling up LVC in
shots (14-7) and winning the
majority of corners (10-4).

Football wins big in Grove City

The Lebanon Valley Dutchmen
started off the season with a bang
September 3rd against Gettys-
burg; piling on the points in a 57-
42 victory The next test for LVC
was the long road trip to Grove
City to play the Wolverines in the
PAC-MAC Challenge, where they
took home the win by a score of
27-7.

Senior running back Ben Guiles
logged his 13th career 100-yard
rushing game, also adding on his
sixth touchdown in the first two
games. Colt Zarilla '12 went 16-24
through the air for 206-yards and
three touchdowns. The Valley of-

fense did quite a number, racking
up 410 offensive yards and finish-
ing the game with no turnovers.

Lebanon Valley went into the
half up 13-0 with two passing
touchdowns from Zarilla. Sopho-
more Joey Miller hauled in a 20-
yard grab towards the end of the
first quarter, and senior tight-end
Matt Mankiewicz caught a 7-yard
toss in the middle of the second.

Grove City capped off their first
possession of the second half with
a 91 -yard, 15 play scoring drive
with a 5 -yard rushing touchdown.
This would be the only score the
Wolverines would have, due to a
great effort put forth by the LVC
defense. Grove City was held to
187 total yards of offense, and they

were sacked twice throughout the
game.

After the game, GoDutchmen.
com interviewed head coach Jim
Monos about the team's perfor-
mance. "When they scored to
make it a one-score game and we
came right back and answered the
bell, that took some wind out of
their sails and then our defense
took over," Monos said. "Colt did
some nice things. He managed the
game in the second half and got us
in the right play."

The 2-0 Dutchmen will face off
against conference favorite #25
Delaware Valley in Doylestown,
PA. Kickoff is set for 1pm.

Being name to a preseason
Ail-American team is quite
an honor. Some players can
say they received one of these
awards for their careers, may-
be two. Ben Guiles '13 is the
exception, however, after he
received four All- American
awards this preseason.

The D3 Senior Class named
him a first team preseason Ail-
American, d3football.com and
the Consensus Draft Services
named him a second-teamer,
and D3 Pro Day gave him a
third-team offense award. With
said awards being given to you
for exceptional play in the 2010
season, some players might
have faltered in the following
season. Once again, Ben Guiles
was the exception.

In the season opener at
Arnold Field against Gettys-
burg on September 3rd, Guiles
helped light up the scoreboard
in a big way. Guiles set a career
high and an LVC record for
touchdowns in one game with

five, four rushing and one receiv-
ing. For the entire game, he to-
taled up 143 -rushing yards and
103-receiving yards. At Grove
City College this past weekend,
Guiles rushed for yet another
100-yard game, but he allowed
other teammates to score by only
rushing for one touchdown. He
also became only the third player
in school history to score over
200 points in a career.

Guiles is definitely one of the
biggest assets to the team, but
does give his teammates credit
for his success. "The offensive
line did a great job, the fullbacks
were sticking on blocks, and
even the receivers were making
great blocks downfield that were
springing me loose/' he said in an
interview with Phil Soto -Ortiz
of the Patriot News. If Guiles
and his offense can keep racking
up the points and stats, there is
no doubt that this will continue
to be a successful season for the
Dutchmen.
